60

In all likelihood, the Democrats will not hit 60 votes in the Senate (but come damn close, including possibly Liddy Dole’s seat). But if Sen. Obama wins, I don’t think they’ll really need to get all that way. Democrats will be at historical highs in the House and Senate, with a Democratic president. The country [...]

Zogby + Drudge: Match Made In Heaven

Seriously, why would anyone take either of those “news” sources seriously?
>> That Zogby Poll
>> John Zogby
>> Drudge, Lowry revived falsehood that Obama didn’t vote to condemn MoveOn Petraeus ad
>> Drudge highlighted Financial Times quote echoing false rumor about Obama’s religion
But the Freepers and the gang at Hot Air are positively giddy. Coming down from [...]

GOP Bigot Eruption: Saxby Chambliss

Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss, currently neck and neck for re-election says that blacks going to the poll will energize “our side” and that “the other folks” are voting.
This election could very well be GOP racism’s last stand.
CHAAAAAAARGE!

Republicans: Stop Voting

The republicans are quite upset that voting hours have been extended in North Carolina. Yet again, the right recoils from democracy.

They Will Believe Anything, Continued

This ludicrous bit is now floating around the con blogosphere and Free Republic:
Here is what he ["Carl from Ohio"] says the GOP internal state by state polling is showing for last night:
NJ M – 48, O – 43, U-7
MI M – 44, O- 42, U – 10
CA O – 44, M – 43, Barr – [...]

Almost 4 Years Ago

Just to give you an idea of where things stood and why conservatives are just making stuff up when they say Kerry lead Bush.
Likely voters surveyed in six major showdown states indicated that they are almost evenly split in their support for President Bush and Democratic Sen. John Kerry, according a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll released [...]

Proposition 8 & California

Prop. 8 is just the latest stupid proposition up for a vote in California. It is by far the worst system in the country for deciding on important issues. I don’t understand why people in California put up with the proposition system, where the state legislature abdicates its responsibility and millions of dollars on both [...]

It Can Happen In America

Disaster Looming…

People forget that the GOP has recently held the advantage when it comes to get out the vote operations. The unprecedented GOTV for John Kerry in 2004 was beaten by one other… George W. Bush. Part of the reason Howard Dean became the DNC chairman was a commitment to a 50-state strategy predicated on maximizing [...]

Polls Tightening!

Sen. Obama is up by 8 in Gallup’s traditional voter model. That’s the most McCain friendly measure of the state of the race. Perhaps 30 minutes of prime time tv is a good thing for a candidate (duh!).

There’s Something Happening Here

Hundreds, maybe thousands, of people are in line today to vote in Atlanta, Georgia.
These are not McCain voters.

Obama Advertising In Arizona, Georgia, North Dakota

Offense baby. OFFENSE.
Barack Obama’s presidential campaign is taking the unprecedented step of launching its first advertising in rival John McCain’s home state of Arizona.
Obama campaign manager David Plouffe announced the advertising buy this morning, saying the campaign also would relaunch advertising in Georgia, where it hasn’t advertised in several months, and start advertising in North [...]

GOP Bigot Eruption: Florida Republicans Freak Out Over Black Voters

National party, localized.
An email sent by Hillsborough County Republican Party chairman David Storck has some local party supporters claiming it’s racist.
The email, written by a volunteer at the party’s Temple Terrace office, was forwarded by Storck to hundreds of party members. It says, in part, “I see carloads of black Obama supporters coming from the [...]

4 Days To Go: Please Elect This Man

If we want America to be great again, to be one step closer to the ideals as detailed in the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, we must elect Barack Obama as our 44th president.
Leadership
The most important reason to elect Obama is the gaping void of leadership in our country. We need a steady had to [...]

More McMess

John McCain seeks to duplicate the chaos of his election effort with his “transition” team.
Let’s see to it that this mess remains a theory.

They Will Believe Anything.

In the heat of this election’s back and forth, a lot of nutty stuff comes over the transom. There is credible stuff, and stuff that simply isn’t credible. Any blogger with more than one visitor gets this stuff and its up to he or she to choose whether to go with it. That’s why it’s [...]

Obama Ramping Up In Arizona

Hit ‘em where they live, hit ‘em where it hurts.

McCain Blogger Michael Goldfarb Caught B.S.ing On Video

Tucker Bounds, meet your co-pilot in suck.

The Obama Effect

Sen. Obama’s commercial last night increased network ratings 13%.

Subway Doesn’t Sell Swiss Cheese Anymore

Most days I go to Subway near my office and pick up a sub. Whether meatball or ham, I always get Swiss cheese – my favorite cheese – to go with it. All of a sudden they stopped stocking swiss. So I went to another Subway, assuming this was localized to just the one store. [...]
